UN Staffers Put on Leave Over Video of Sex Act in Official Car

The head of the United Nations was “shocked and deeply disturbed" by the contents of a video that showed an apparent sex act in a UN official car in Tel Aviv, Israel. The video quickly went viral.

Two UN staffers from the Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO) have been put on an administrative leave as an investigation has been launched into a video showing what is apparently a sex act inside of an official UN vehicle in Tel Aviv.

According to a statement by UNTSO, the two men are seen as "having engaged in misconduct, including conduct of a sexual nature".

"Given the seriousness of the allegations of failing to observe the standards of conduct expected of international civil servants, the two staff members have been placed on Administrative Leave Without Pay, pending the conclusions of the ongoing OIOS investigation", the statement said.

The organisation also said that it had re-engaged an awareness-raising campaign to ensure that personnel "comply with their obligations to the UN Code of Conduct".

The video released earlier on 23 June quickly went viral, initially posted by Inner City Press. The footage showed a white official UN vehicle, in which a woman in a red dress was apparently having sex with a man in a backseat.

The UN chief, along with the entire Truce Supervising Organisation, stated that they were "deeply disturbed" by the contents of the video. The behaviour of the staffers is "abhorrent" and goes "against everything we stand for in terms of the values of the United Nations and the standards of conduct of its personnel". In its initial statement reacting to the matter, UNTSO marked its "zero-tolerance policy against any kind of misconduct, including sexual exploitation and abuse".

GRAPHIC: Dozens Killed in Mexican Drug Rehab Center by Cartel Gunmen

Cartel gunmen allegedly stormed a drug rehab center. They supposedly lined up victims and shot them, killing 24 and injuring seven more. The attack came almost at the same time as President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador spoke publicly about his government’s success in slowing violent crime.

The attack took place on Wednesday afternoon in Irapuato, Guanajuato, at the Recuperando Mi Vida drug rehabilitation center, said local Public Security Director Pedro Cortes Zavala in a streamed conference. The gunmen arrived in a red vehicle and forced everyone inside to the floor before opening fire. Authorities recovered shell casings commonly used in AK-47 rifles.

EU says Iran has triggered nuclear deal dispute mechanism

Move could pave way for deal’s final collapse; Brussels’ top diplomat calls for ‘intensive efforts’ to solve disagreements ‘in good faith by all’

The European Union’s top diplomat said Friday that he has received a letter from Iran that triggers a dispute mechanism in the international agreement limiting Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, citing concerns that Britain, France and Germany are not living up to their side of the deal.

The accord, which Iran signed with the US, Britain, Germany, France, China and Russia in 2015, has been unraveling since President Donald Trump pulled Washington out in 2018, unleashing sanctions designed to cripple the Islamic Republic’s economy.

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, who is coordinator of the pact known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, said that in the letter Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif seeks redress under “the dispute resolution mechanism, as set out in paragraph 36 of the agreement.”

No details about the nature of Iran’s “implementation issues” with Britain, France and Germany were provided. The dispute mechanism provides for a period of about one month, which can be prolonged if all parties agree, to resolve any disagreement.

If the sides are unable to solve their dispute, parties can move to consider the agreement nullified, and the UN Security Council may debate renewing sanctions against Tehran.

In a tweet on June 19, Zarif said the three European countries “must stop public face-saving and muster the courage to state publicly what they admit privately: their failure to fulfill even (their) own JCPOA duties due to total impotence in resisting US bullying.”

Zarif’s letter to Borrell was sent a day after a mysterious fire broke out at the Natanz underground facility where Iran enriches uranium.

While Tripoli Welcomed Turkish Defense Minister, LNA Called For Russia And France

On July 3, Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar and Chief of General Staff Gen. Yasar Guler arrived in the Libyan capital Tripoli for a surprise visit.

The Government of National Accord (GNA) held an official military ceremony for Akar and Guler. According to the Anadolu Agency, during the visit, they will review the activities carried out under the recent agreements between the two countries .

Ankara and Tripoli signed two memorandums of understanding last year. The first determined the maritime boundaries between the countries in the Eastern Mediterranean, while the second was meant to enhance military cooperation.

Akar and Guler visited the Defense Security Cooperation and Training Assistance Advisory Command, where they met with senior Libyan and Turkish officers. The center was established in the framework of the military memorandum.

“[Turkey] will do whatever is needed for the Libyan brothers in accordance with the order of President Erdogan,” RT quoted Akar as saying during the visit.

Two days ago, Turkish Naval Forces Commander Adm. Adnan Ozbal visited Tripoli and met with Chief of Staff of GNA forces Lt. Gen. Mohammed Al-Sharif. The visit was reportedly ordered by Akar.

In the last few months, Turkey increased its support for the GNA. This allowed government forces to achieve significant success in the North-West of Libya. Following this, Egypt warned the GNA against any further advance.

Akar and Guler visit is a clear message of support to the GNA. The government will reportedly resume soon its military operations with Turkish support, despite Egypt’s threats.

At the same time, the leaders of eastern Libya also held talks with foreign partners. On July 3, the speaker of Libya’s eastern parliament, Aguila Saleh met with Russian foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Moscow.

”Moscow has decided to reopen its embassy in Libya,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was quoted as saying.

Lavrov also claimed that a ceasefire in the Libyan conflict, proposed by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi on June 6, comported with decisions taken at an international conference in Berlin regarding the situation in Libya.

Twitter account: @LNA2019M

On Thursday, the Commander of the Libyan National Army (LNA) Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar received a telephone call from French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, The sides discussed the situation in the country.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian called for “accelerating the achievement of the ceasefire in Libya and returning to the political track”.

The holding of international talks both by the GNA and the leaders of Eastern Libya is likely to indicate an increasing deterioration of the situation. While Turkish representatives review the military activities, Russia and France are calling for a political settlement to the escalating conflict in Libya.

How to Celebrate July 4 Without Getting Canceled for Glorifying White Supremacy

10 things to avoid this holiday weekend

The United States of America turns 244 this weekend. Normally that would be cause for celebration, but not anymore, now that the prevailing cultural sentiment demands that athletes issue statements to explain why they didn't take a knee during the national anthem.

If you plan on celebrating—or even acknowledging—the signing of the Declaration of Independence, an archaic and confusing document that promotes violence, please be mindful not to invite cancellation by "glorifying white supremacy."

That's how the Democratic National Committee described President Donald Trump's plan to attend a fireworks display at Mount Rushmore. So that's definitely off limits. But here are a few suggestions for other things to avoid this holiday weekend.

American Flags — Despite their common usage in July 4 celebrations, it is advisable to refrain from flying the American flag given its close association to the United States of America, a country founded on British colonialism, genocide, and tax evasion. If you must incorporate the stars and stripes into your festivities, consider adding a 51st star to show your support for D.C. statehood and the hundreds of disenfranchised journalists forced to reside there.

Hot Dogs — Offensively phallic and bad for the environment, hot dogs are often consumed at baseball stadiums. John Rocker, a confirmed racist, used to play baseball in those very stadiums.

Blackface — Unless you are an elected Democrat, it's best to avoid blatant displays of racism, cultural appropriation, or bad taste, especially in a public setting where journalists might be present.

Alcoholic Beverages — Alcohol is the gas fueling the engine of America's demonstrably pro-rape culture. Brett Kavanaugh liked beer, and still does. Joe Biden doesn't drink. Enough said.

Friends and Family — Remember the time your Uncle Strickland tried to mansplain the Constitution at Thanksgiving? He was probably too drunk to remember and has an even better lecture planned for Independence Day. Don't bother printing out those Vox.com articles, just avoid the family cookout altogether. There will be another funeral soon enough.

Hitler-Themed Costume Parties — If you are going to host a costume party this weekend, consider picking a theme that has nothing to do with America or the Fourth of July. But don't go crazy. A Hitler-themed costume party would also be problematic.

Holiday Humor? Democrats Prepare To Celebrate Dependence Day

U.S.—Democrats across the country prepared to celebrate Dependence Day this week, an annual holiday where they reflect upon their complete and total dependence on the government.

Every year on July 4, Democrats celebrate the high holy day where they thank the government for its gracious gifts.

"It's good to pause every year and think about how we are completely and utterly dependent on the government for everything," said Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. "We have to give up all our rights to the government to find out how dependent we can be."

"This good and benevolent government was given to us by, you know, the thing," said Joe Biden. "We should take a moment and be thankful for that. You know, I was around on the first Dependence Day, when Paul Washington and George Revere rode their donkeys into the holy city of Washington. I watched them come into town. I even stuck a feather in Revere's hat and called him 'macaroni'. He didn't really appreciate that, you know. But it was a good time."

The DNC's official Twitter account tweeted, "Let's take a moment to think about everything we owe the government this Dependence Day."

While Americans celebrate Independence Day with fireworks, barbecues, and merrymaking, Democrats celebrate Dependence Day by staying inside and weeping over all the freedom going on outside. The celebrations conclude with the reading of the Communist Manifesto and the singing of "Imagine".
